Welcome to the capital of Macedonia...Skopje,
Skopje is a city situated on the banks of the Vardar River. Skopje offers a blend of Islamic and Christian culture that makes this city very interesting to visit. Although some of its historic buildings were destroyed by the massive earthquake of 1965, Skopje has returned to clean up and become one of the alternative destinations when visiting Europe. Here you can see the Ottoman heritage buildings, including the medieval hotel.
The traces of Turkish architecture can be seen in this ancient Ottoman town. The people of Skopje are predominantly Macedonians, followed by Albanians and Turks. The city building is a blend of traditional and modern and Soviet influence is also clearly visible. Skopje is a tourist destination with the charm of natural beauty and cultural richness.

Earlier this year David had the opportunity to explore Macedonia and explore what to see in and around Skopje. In this episode, David shows us around this eastern European capital.
Skopje is Macedonia’s cultural, economic and political hub. It’s not the most popular European city but can be quite fascinating for those who can appreciate its centuries-old history and multi-cultural traditions.
The Kale Fortress is a perfect example of Macedonia’s long history at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The fortress has stood watch over the city since the 6th century. From its walls you’ll get sweeping views of Skopje.
Next stop: the Old Bazaar. A must when in Skopje is to browse the shops and cobblestone streets of the Old Bazaar. The neighborhood is full of mosques and hammams like the one David visits in this episode.
As you keep exploring the Old Bazaar you’ll find several shops, cafes, and old inns.
By contrast, the Art Bridge represents modern Skopje. It is lined with statues of famous Macedonian artists and musicians leading up to the National Archaeology Museum.
The Stone Bridge is another pedestrian bridge that crosses the Varnar River, linking the old and new parts of the city. Originally constructed under Roman EmperorJustinian, it was rebuilt in the 15th century by the Ottomans.
On one side of the bridge is the Old Bazaar and on the other is Skopje’s central square AKAMacedonia Square.
If you’re looking to buy something authentically Macedonian and don’t want a cheap souvenir, buy a Macedonian ruby. These precious gemstones aren’t red like Asian or Indian rubies. Instead they are raspberry-pink and make very unique gifts.
Next up is the Mother Teresa Memorial House – a museum, chapel and multimedia center honoring the late Mother Teresa, who was born in Skopje in 1910. It was built in 2009 two years after her death. Here you’ll see memorabilia and photos from her life and humanitarian work.
Afterwards, David heads to the surroundings of Skopje. First up is the Skopje Aqueduct, just 3 kilometers from the center of Skopje. It was first built by the Romans and used by the Byzantines and Ottomans to supply the city with water from the neighboring mountains. Today, 56 arches remain.
A half-hour drive south brings David and his cinematographer to the Byzantine Church of Saint Panteleimon. What is most impressive is what church holds inside – dozens of religious frescos depicting the life and death of Jesus. David gives us a peak at the most famous of its frescoes.
A 30-minute drive southwest of the church brings the crew to CanyonMatka, a natural gorge that is popular with climbers, hikers, and nature lovers. Rent a boat to see VreloCave, one of 10 caves found in Matka. When you’re done you can stick around to have lunch at the Canyon Matka Restaurant.
Skopje isn’t your typical European capital. It is currently experiencing an urban revival thanks to government-funded building projects across the city.
If time allows, dedicate a couple of days to explore what to see in and around Skopje.
Special thanks to Macedonia Timeless and XShot.

The City (season 1)

The first season of The City premiered on December 29, 2008 and concluded on March 16, 2009. It followed Whitney Port's move to New York City after leaving Los Angeles as she followed her dream job. Instead of ordering a complete 2nd season for The City MTV ordered 10 extra episodes to Season 1. Therefore, the so-called Season 2, is in fact Season 1, Part 2 which began on September 29, 2009 and thus forth concluding the entire first season on December 1, 2009. On December 1, 2009, on The Hills/The City Aftershow, Port confirmed there will be a second season coming soon.

Synopsis

In Part 1, Whitney Port of 'The Hills' moves from her hometown of Los Angeles, California to Manhattan. The first half follows her, best friend Erin, and boyfriend Jay while Port tackles her new job at global design house, Diane Von Furstenberg. Jays roommate, Adam, struggles in a relationship with his on/off girlfriend, Allie. Olivia, New York socialite, and Whitney's co-worker, deals with her cousin Nevan, who's living off of her for a while. Erin deals with an old boyfriend coming into her life, and Samantha "Sammy", is by her friends side through all the drama. Meanwhile the fashion world takes them all by storm daily in the fierce streets of New York. In the second half of season 1, newly single Port goes back to working for Kelly Cutrone while her friend/former co-worker, Olivia Palermo, is working at ELLE Magazine now. Whitney's old friend, Roxy, moves in with her and gets a job at People's Revolution, while Olivia has met her match, Erin K., at her new job. The second half focused more on the fashion world drama, instead of relationship drama. The road to Whitney's official launch of her clothing line "Whitney Eve" release was the main plot in this half of the season. The ratings went down some in the second half, but the series was picked up for a full second season run in December 2009.

The City (1995 TV series)

The City is an American televisionsoap opera that aired on ABC from November 13, 1995 to March 28, 1997. The series was a continuation of the serial Loving, which ran from 1983 until 1995, and featured the surviving central characters of its final major story arc, which saw most of the show's characters fall victim to a serial killer. The characters that survived moved from Corinth, Pennsylvania to New York City and settled in the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo.

Storylines

While it was started by Loving creator Agnes Nixon, The City was different from other soaps of its day, as the city wasn't the main setting of the series: the loft and its surroundings took precedence, and the city was secondary. Also, the show was shot on videotape using the FilmLook process for its entire run (one of two soap operas ever to do so, All My Children also used the FilmLook processing from 2006 to 2010).

The City (Transmetropolitan)

The City is a fictional megacity which forms the main setting for the Vertigo comic Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis. Located somewhere in the United States, the City is the largest metropolitan area in the futuristic world of the series (an exact date is never given), and the center of political and social culture.

The City plays a key role in the U.S. Presidential elections described in the series, due to its unusual voting patterns in the past:

Little systematic history is given on the City throughout the series. Various incidents in its history are described by Spider Jerusalem as the story progresses, but there is no unified narrative that explains its origins in detail.

The City features numerous 'culture reservations' in which particular traditional cultures - including those of China and Japan - can be experienced and lived in permanently, as well as a holographic pre-industrial reservation. The Angels 8 district of the City is also home to a group known as 'transients', humans who have used genome-altering technology to permanently take on alien characteristics.

The earliest known sources that describe the existence of a merchant quarter on the bazaar's territory date back to the 12th century. During Ottoman rule of Skopje, the Old Bazaar developed rapidly to become city's main centre of commerce. The Ottoman history of the bazaar is evidenced by roughly thirty mosques, numerous caravanserais and hans, among other buildings and monuments. The bazaar was heavily damaged by earthquakes that occurred in 1555 and 1963, as well as during the First and the Second World Wars and faced various rebuildings following these events.

Ottoman architecture is predominant in the Old Bazaar, although remains of Byzantine architecture are evident as well, while recent reconstructions have led to the application of elements specific to modern architecture. Many of the historic buildings of the bazaar have been transformed into museums and galleries. It is, however, still home to several active mosques, türbes, two churches and a clocktower, that, together with the buildings of the Museum of Macedonia and the Museum of Modern Art, form the core of the modern bazaar.

Alexander the Great

Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great (Greek:Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας, Aléxandros ho Mégas[a.lék.san.dros ho mé.gas], from the Greek ἀλέξω (alexō) "defend" and ἀνδρ- (andr-), the stem of ἀνήρ (anēr) "man" and means "protector of men"), was a King (Basileus) of the Ancient Greekkingdom of Macedon
and a member of the Argead dynasty, an ancient Greek royal house. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to Egypt into northwest India and modern-day Pakistan. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders.

During his youth, Alexander was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle until the age of 16. After Philip's assassination in 336BC, Alexander succeeded his father to the throne and inherited a strong kingdom and an experienced army. Alexander was awarded the generalship of Greece and used this authority to launch his father's Panhellenic project to lead the Greeks in the conquest of Persia. In 334 BC, he invaded the Achaemenid Empire, ruled Asia Minor, and began a series of campaigns that lasted ten years. Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive battles, most notably the battles of Issus and Gaugamela. He subsequently overthrew the Persian King Darius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety. At that point, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River.

Alexander the Great (album)

Reception

AllMusic rated the album with 4 stars and reviewer Scott Yanow noted: "Even at that early stage, Alexander had very impressive technique and his Oscar Peterson-influenced style was starting to become distinctive".

Skopje, Macedonia. The ugliest city in the world?

Skopje, Macedonia. The ugliest city in the world?

Skopje, Macedonia. The ugliest city in the world?

Have you ever heard anything about Macedonia? Honestly, the only thing I knew was that it is formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We are almost ready to land at the Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport, and you're probably wondering why is this airport named after Alexander the Great.
Macedonia naming dispute is a political dispute regarding the use of the name Macedonia itself between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia. The specific naming dispute, although an existing issue in Yugoslav–Greek relations since World War II, was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Finally we are here. Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport is one of two international airports in the country. It serves around ten destinations, and all of them are flights to Europe, except the only one to Istanbul, Turkey. It is located 17 km southeast of the national capital Skopje. You can get to the centre within 30 minutes by shuttle buses starting from the terminal almost every hour.
Basically, one day for getting around the city of Skopje is more than enough.
The city is a combination of Soviet architecture and modern kitsch. They say that the country received a lot of money for the development of the tourism industry, which were put on the creation of strange buildings. Yes, they look rich, but quite tasteless and pretentious.
If you ask me which city has the biggest density of monuments, I would definitely say it’s Skopje. Let’s take a walk to Macedonia Square, main square of Skopje and the biggest square in Macedonia. There’s located the biggest and the highest monument with Alexander the Great on Bucephalus, which was unveiled in 2011, on the 20-year anniversary of Macedonia's independence referendum from Yugoslavia. At 22 metres, or eight storeys high, the statue makes its surroundings look small and unimportant.
While the expressed aim of multi-million Euro project was to attract international investment and tourism to Skopje its international reception gives a measure of the overall cost of this project to the city’s reputation. The Guardian, for instance, ran with How Skopje became Europe’s new capital of kitsch, while CNN asked Is Macedonia’s capital being turned into a theme park? The government’s ambition has been to create a new national identity by rewriting history like many other post-socialist cities around the Europe do.
But Skopje also has some great examples of brutalist architecture – a style typified by geometric themes and raw concrete. It occurs all over the formerly communist area of Yugoslavia. In 1965 famous Japanese architect Kenzō Tange was asked by the United Nations to enter a limited competition for the redevelopment of Skopje. The town had been heavily destroyed by an earthquake in 1963. Macedonian architects also took part to the reconstruction. The reconstruction turned Skopje into a proper modernist city, with large blocks of flats, concrete buildings and scattered green spaces.
One of the biggest constructions in the city centre is Gradski Trgovski Centar, partly open-air shopping mall designed by Živko Popovski. Located just by the main square it is the oldest shopping mall in Skopje. This great modernist building was on the news in December, 2014 when Macedonian citizens protested the government's plan to cover this landmark with an idiotic “baroque” facade.
Now let’s get up higher to the mountains. Skopje Fortress, commonly referred to as Kale, is a historic fortress located in the old town of Skopje. It is situated on the highest point in the city overlooking the Vardar River. Scholars believe that the fortress was constructed under the orders of Byzantine EmperorJustinian I. Much of information on Kale is speculative. The first academic digs began in 2006, and uncovered evidence of human activity dating back to 3000 BC. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot to see within the fortress itself; archaeologists are still slowly excavating the site. The city had begun to build a church-shaped museum inside, but this caused a violent confrontation between Muslims and Christians, so now there’s only a metal skeleton.
Near the fortress you may find Old Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest marketplaces in the Balkans, it has been Skopje's centre for trade and commerce since at least the 12th century. It is the most interesting part of Skopje for visitors and tourists, offering a trip back in time and a profound experience of the Macedonian culture and tradition. But be careful about your purse and belongings.

Although some of its historic buildings were destroyed by the massive earthquake of 1965, Skopje has returned to clean up and become one of the alternative destinations when visiting Europe. Here you can see the Ottoman heritage buildings, including the medieval hotel.
The traces of Turkish architecture can be seen in this ancient Ottoman town. The people of Skopje are predominantly Macedonians, followed by Albanians and Turks. The city building is a blend of traditional and modern and Soviet influence is also clearly visible. Skopje is a tourist destination with the charm of natural beauty and cultural richness.

Earlier this year David had the opportunity to explore Macedonia and explore what to see in and around Skopje. In this episode, David shows us around this eastern European capital.
Skopje is Macedonia’s cultural, economic and political hub. It’s not the most popular European city but can be quite fascinating for those who can appreciate its centuries-old history and multi-cultural traditions.
The Kale Fortress is a perfect example of Macedonia’s long history at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The fortress has stood watch over the city since the 6th century. From its walls you’ll get sweeping views of Skopje.
Next stop: the Old Bazaar. A must when in Skopje is to browse the shops and cobblestone streets of the Old Bazaar. The neighborhood is full of mosques and hammams like the one David visits in this episode.
As you keep exploring the Old Bazaar you’ll find several shops, cafes, and old inns.
By contrast, the Art Bridge represents modern Skopje. It is lined with statues of famous Macedonian artists and musicians leading up to the National Archaeology Museum.
The Stone Bridge is another pedestrian bridge that crosses the Varnar River, linking the old and new parts of the city. Originally constructed under Roman EmperorJustinian, it was rebuilt in the 15th century by the Ottomans.
On one side of the bridge is the Old Bazaar and on the other is Skopje’s central square AKAMacedonia Square.
If you’re looking to buy something authentically Macedonian and don’t want a cheap souvenir, buy a Macedonian ruby. These precious gemstones aren’t red like Asian or Indian rubies. Instead they are raspberry-pink and make very unique gifts.
Next up is the Mother Teresa Memorial House – a museum, chapel and multimedia center honoring the late Mother Teresa, who was born in Skopje in 1910. It was built in 2009 two years after her death. Here you’ll see memorabilia and photos from her life and humanitarian work.
Afterwards, David heads to the surroundings of Skopje. First up is the Skopje Aqueduct, just 3 kilometers from the center of Skopje. It was first built by the Romans and used by the Byzantines and Ottomans to supply the city with water from the neighboring mountains. Today, 56 arches remain.
A half-hour drive south brings David and his cinematographer to the Byzantine Church of Saint Panteleimon. What is most impressive is what church holds inside – dozens of religious frescos depicting the life and death of Jesus. David gives us a peak at the most famous of its frescoes.
A 30-minute drive southwest of the church brings the crew to CanyonMatka, a natural gorge that is popular with climbers, hikers, and nature lovers. Rent a boat to see VreloCave, one of 10 caves found in Matka. When you’re done you can stick around to have lunch at the Canyon Matka Restaurant.
Skopje isn’t your typical European capital. It is currently experiencing an urban revival thanks to government-funded building projects across the city.
If time allows, dedicate a couple of days to explore what to see in and around Skopje.
Special thanks to Macedonia Timeless and XShot.

Have you ever heard anything about Macedonia? Honestly, the only thing I knew was that it is formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We are almost ready to land at the Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport, and you're probably wondering why is this airport named after Alexander the Great.
Macedonia naming dispute is a political dispute regarding the use of the name Macedonia itself between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia. The specific naming dispute, although an existing issue in Yugoslav–Greek relations since World War II, was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Finally we are here. Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport is one of two international airports in the country. It serves around ten destinations, and all of them are flights to Europe, except the only one to Istanbul, Turkey. It is located 17 km southeast of the national capital Skopje. You can get to the centre within 30 minutes by shuttle buses starting from the terminal almost every hour.
Basically, one day for getting around the city of Skopje is more than enough.
The city is a combination of Soviet architecture and modern kitsch. They say that the country received a lot of money for the development of the tourism industry, which were put on the creation of strange buildings. Yes, they look rich, but quite tasteless and pretentious.
If you ask me which city has the biggest density of monuments, I would definitely say it’s Skopje. Let’s take a walk to Macedonia Square, main square of Skopje and the biggest square in Macedonia. There’s located the biggest and the highest monument with Alexander the Great on Bucephalus, which was unveiled in 2011, on the 20-year anniversary of Macedonia's independence referendum from Yugoslavia. At 22 metres, or eight storeys high, the statue makes its surroundings look small and unimportant.
While the expressed aim of multi-million Euro project was to attract international investment and tourism to Skopje its international reception gives a measure of the overall cost of this project to the city’s reputation. The Guardian, for instance, ran with How Skopje became Europe’s new capital of kitsch, while CNN asked Is Macedonia’s capital being turned into a theme park? The government’s ambition has been to create a new national identity by rewriting history like many other post-socialist cities around the Europe do.
But Skopje also has some great examples of brutalist architecture – a style typified by geometric themes and raw concrete. It occurs all over the formerly communist area of Yugoslavia. In 1965 famous Japanese architect Kenzō Tange was asked by the United Nations to enter a limited competition for the redevelopment of Skopje. The town had been heavily destroyed by an earthquake in 1963. Macedonian architects also took part to the reconstruction. The reconstruction turned Skopje into a proper modernist city, with large blocks of flats, concrete buildings and scattered green spaces.
One of the biggest constructions in the city centre is Gradski Trgovski Centar, partly open-air shopping mall designed by Živko Popovski. Located just by the main square it is the oldest shopping mall in Skopje. This great modernist building was on the news in December, 2014 when Macedonian citizens protested the government's plan to cover this landmark with an idiotic “baroque” facade.
Now let’s get up higher to the mountains. Skopje Fortress, commonly referred to as Kale, is a historic fortress located in the old town of Skopje. It is situated on the highest point in the city overlooking the Vardar River. Scholars believe that the fortress was constructed under the orders of Byzantine EmperorJustinian I. Much of information on Kale is speculative. The first academic digs began in 2006, and uncovered evidence of human activity dating back to 3000 BC. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot to see within the fortress itself; archaeologists are still slowly excavating the site. The city had begun to build a church-shaped museum inside, but this caused a violent confrontation between Muslims and Christians, so now there’s only a metal skeleton.
Near the fortress you may find Old Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest marketplaces in the Balkans, it has been Skopje's centre for trade and commerce since at least the 12th century. It is the most interesting part of Skopje for visitors and tourists, offering a trip back in time and a profound experience of the Macedonian culture and tradition. But be careful about your purse and belongings.

Skopje, Macedonia. The ugliest city in the world?

Have you ever heard anything about Macedonia? Honestly, the only thing I knew was that it is formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We are almost ready to land at the Skopje "Alexander the Great" Airport, and you're probably wondering why is this airport named after Alexander the Great.

The city had begun to build a church-shaped museum inside, but this caused a violent confrontation between Muslims and Christians, so now there’s only a metal skeleton.
Near the fortress you may find Old Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest marketplaces in the Balkans, it has been Skopje's centre for trade and commerce since at least the 12th century. It is the most interesting part of Skopje for visitors and tourists, offering a trip back in time and a profound experience of the Macedonian culture and tradition. But be careful about your purse and belongings.
